    sorry mods posted in wrong section, this is probably better suited to "state benefits"

    The borderpeople.info website answers your questions. Link to the relevant section here There's also a section on revenue.ie here.

    Basically it's to avoid you being taxed twice on the same income (once in NI and once in ROI). You pay tax in NI and the 'relief' is the exemption from paying tax again on that amount when you do your self assessment return in ROI. Due to differing tax rates it's not always like-for-like but you don't pay tax on the whole sum twice.
